Pokemon used to have such a distinct artstyle. It’s shame that it’s fallen into the Japanese media trap of anime same face.

The second gen (not the remakes) was probably the closest we got to matching Ken Sugimori’s original watercolors in game

Having a meter on the general pokemon fandom, I know that if Gamefreak made a game like this, 70% would pan it for not being “Nintendo, hire this man!” unreal engine demo graphics in a Ubisoft open world.

That’s a shame. I feel like this is how Pokemon should look. Not some ultra realistic bullshit and certainly not the art style it has now.
